Keep us informed as to how the rifle performs. I have seen a couple of posts that say they are getting very good results with the Kodiak. I handled one in Wallyworld and was impressed for the price. I would keep loads below the 120gr. level even though they claim 150gr. I never load my Omega that stiff either. My elk went down with 90gr. loads of Black Mag3 under 300gr. bullets. Shot completely through chest cavity at 90 yards.
